The Love Elektrik is seductive synth-pop funk personified, as evidenced in their latest single, &#34;What U Want&#34; — a shimmering collage of sledgehammer drum machines, gritty analog synths, funky <a href="spotify:artist:1eClJfHLoDI4rZe5HxzBFv" data-name="INXS">INXS</a>-inspired guitars, and an amalgam of atmospherics that sound part <a href="spotify:artist:7C4sUpWGlTy7IANjruj02I" data-name="Peter Gabriel">Peter Gabriel</a>, part <a href="spotify:artist:5he5w2lnU9x7JFhnwcekXX" data-name="Skrillex">Skrillex</a>. Based in both Los Angeles and Nashville, the duo (comprised of American frontman Anthony Rankin and Swedish bassist Victor Brodén) fuses the ethereal funk of the 1980s with a millennial pop aesthetic, a bridge between the Minneapolis Sound of <a href="spotify:artist:5a2EaR3hamoenG9rDuVn8j" data-name="Prince">Prince</a> and the neo-retro ethos of artists like <a href="spotify:artist:2mV8aJphiSHYJf43DxL7Gt" data-name="Chromeo">Chromeo</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6VuMaDnrHyPL1p4EHjYLi7" data-name="Charlie Puth">Charlie Puth</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3mIj9lX2MWuHmhNCA7LSCW" data-name="The 1975">The 1975</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:7gOdHgIoIKoe4i9Tta6qdD" data-name="Jonas Brothers">Jonas Brothers</a>. Amplified by magnetic live performances and Rankin&#39;s ever-flexible voice, their songs bristle with infectious rhythms, major-league melodies and bulletproof hooks.

Since their debut album <a href="spotify:album:5KRDmR3V7sYQAWUQ0wdGi7" data-name="Underneath">Underneath</a> was released in the fall of 2017, TLE has been featured in a variety of blogs and other media, such as Kings of A&#43;R, iHeartRadio, Nashville Unsigned, Noisetrade, Ourstage, VEVO, and more.
